I Have a New Hero(ine)



Fresh from yesterday's righteous gutting of Rep. Tom Davis' thuggery toward Major League Baseball in the Sports section of the WashPost -- the only MSM outlet where you could have read about the disgusting gimlet-eyed power-play yesterday -- Sally Jenkins returns today with a howlingly funny imagining of the exchange between Vladimir Putin and NEPatriots owner Robert Kraft, in which Putin walked off with Kraft's Super Bowl ring in his pocket:

Putin: Is gift, no?

Kraft: No.

Putin: Yes.

Kraft: No.

Putin: Is nice.

Sally's the daughter of my favorite Guilty Pleasure, the Neanderthal-but-admit-it-hilarious Dan Jenkins, he of Semi-Tough and Baja Oklahoma, as well as some of the finest golf writing ever to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated.

She's done her daddy proud this week.

She's Dan's daughter, has alluded to it in her column. Here's an article she wrote about it.

more nurture than nature, is my guess... it would be good to barbecue with both after a round, eh? As they say in Texas, Dead Solid Perfect.

and speaking of sport, your Nationals are salting the suppurating wounds of Expos fans... just so you know...

Yup, that was a good one. She's really the best writer on the sports page, and one of the top 3 or 4 in the Post.

iirc, sally jenkins helped lance armstrong write his autobiography, it's not about the bike, which is a very good read and recommended by this commenter.
